Mr. Speaker, I am not absolutely sure whether it will or won't be taken into consideration. Labour relations are the people who will conduct this investigation. It won't be influenced politically. I never influence these things. I let them go out there and do their job and bring the details back to me. Once I read those reports, if I think there are other factors that have been overlooked and so on, I may ask them if they have considered this or that. That has been done on rare occasions. So I can't say the kinds of things that they will be looking at, but I can say that we are going on the basis that a recommendation was made to us by a department head that two people be terminated. The department head has given reasons for the termination. That is where we start from. Were the procedures followed properly? Is the request for termination justified? What are the views of these employees? I can't say yes and I can't say no. I can just say I have confidence that labour relations will do a thorough investigation, as they always do. If I find there are some things missing, I will ask them to look at it again. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
